musb_gadget_setup() calls usb_add_gadget_udc() and, when that fails,
calls device_unregister(&musb->g.dev). But usb_add_gadget_udc() already
releases the gadget on failure: usb_add_gadget_udc_release() calls
usb_put_gadget(), i.e. put_device(&gadget->dev), in its error path.
The device model documents the same rule in the kerneldoc of
device_register() (drivers/base/core.c):
NOTE: _Never_ directly free @dev after calling this function, even
if it returned an error! Always use put_device() to give up the
reference initialized in this function instead.
The extra device_unregister() therefore runs device_del() on a device
that was never added (or was already deleted) and drops the reference a
second time, causing a refcount underflow.
Drop the redundant cleanup and just return the error; the UDC core has
already released the gadget.
This issue was found by manual code inspection.
Fixes: 3301c215a2bb ("USB: UDC: Expand device model API interface")
